3.26.24 | Softball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the conclusion of a four-game homestand, the Samford softball team is set to host the Alabama State Hornets on Wednesday at Samford Softball Stadium.Â
Â
The first pitch for the in-state showdown is slated for 5 p.m. and the live stats can be found here.Â
Â
Wednesday's game will also double as Big League and Camp Night. Samford softball trading cards will be given out while supplies last and there will be a poster signing session with the players after the game.Â
Â
The Bulldogs bring a 6-23 record into the midweek after dropping the opening series of Southern Conference play to Chattanooga.Â
Â
Alabama State comes to Birmingham with a record of 15-17 following a three-game series sweep of Mississippi Valley State on the weekend.Â
Â
Wednesday's contest will be the 22nd all-time meeting between the Bulldogs and the Hornets. Before Alabama State topped Samford on Feb. 27, the Bulldogs had won the previous 20 meetings in the series.Â
Â
Offensively, freshman Katie Campbell ranks 57th in the country with a team-best eight home runs and 74th with 29 runs driven in on the season. McKayla Cothran paces the Bulldog offense with a .326 batting average.Â
Â
In the circle, Jordyn Partain has been the workhorse for Samford as the junior leads all SoCon throwers with 78.2 innings pitched. Completing the one-two pitching punch for Samford, freshman Karley Fullers has a team-best 4.29 ERA.Â
Â
After finishing fourth in the country in 2023, Bulldog catcher Logan Champion has thrown out eight potential base stealers in this season to rank 26th nationally.Â
